How to Install the Wireless Remote Controller Receiver

8-16. Common to All Models

1. Warnings about Installation of Receivers

The wireless remote uses a very weak infrared light for its signal, which can result in the signal not being received because of the
following influences, so take care in where the unit is installed.
• Inverter or rapid-start type fluorescent lights. (Models without glow lamps)
• Plasma display or LCD televisions.
• Direct sunlight or other sources of bright light.

2. Warnings about Installing Remote Controls

(1)
If a remote control is to be operated from a remote control holder that is hung on a wall, turn on the lights in the room as well
as any electrical appliances and then check to make sure the air conditioner works with the remote control in the location
where it will be installed. If it works, continue with installation.
(2)
If the air conditioner is to be switched from the main sensor to a remote control sensor, pay attention to the following when
installing.
• Locate where no warm or cold drafts will affect it.
• Locate in a place free from direct sunlight.
• Locate where it will not be affected by any other heat/cold source.

3. Things to remember when wired and wireless remotes are installed at the same time

Two remote controls can be used to control the unit if the wireless remote control kit is installed at the same time as the wired
remote control.
(Up to 2 remotes [a wireless remote kit and the wired remote control] can be installed.)
When using 2 remotes, one or more units can be operated by the remotes.
NOTE
1. When wiring remote controls, be sure to double-check the terminal numbers of the indoor unit before connecting them so
there are no mistakes in the wiring. (Damage will occur if high voltage [e.g. supply voltage] is applied)
2. It is not possible to use more than one wireless remote control kit with one indoor unit.
(A receiver located separately can be used at the same time)
3. If both a wireless and a wired remote control are to be installed and used at the same time, one of them must be set up as
the sub remote control.
If the wired remote control is to be the sub remote, change the wired remote control to the sub remote.
If the wireless remote control is to be the secondary, turn the #3 switch on the wireless receiver (operation panel)
from OFF to ON.
When 1 indoor unit is operated by 2 remote controls:
Either of the remotes can be set to main/sub.
